1、考虑到社会的问题，必然要求法律不断健全来约束人们的行为
2、既然是要约束人们的行为，那么就需要靠法制建设来唤醒人们的心灵，即改造人的本质
I contend that passing laws to control or limit on people's behavior. However, I disagree with the claim that legislation cannot reform human nature which the author maintains.

As well all know, constructing a law needs a long time to modulate and examine. When the society find that there are some unusual human behavior, then the national machine, the government, would use its right to control or limit it by the laws as soon as possible. When the laws are implemented, there might be some other behaviors which would impact the society. Again, what the government should do is also to amend the laws and control and limit this behavior again. This is essentially a circulation of the law. For that matter, we can say that the duty of the laws is absolutely to search which behavior is bad or corruptive for the society. For example, the American laws are one of the most excellent ones in this world. But after a long time to develop it, there are also many problems involved in this country. The reason is that the people's behavior is changing every time. And with this change, the government should change the laws a lot to better control or prohibit these new behaviors.

But is the only aim of the legislation to reform human nature? In my opinion, I would not have an exact recognization for this issue. Yet, at least, I would not agree that the legislation cannot reform human nature or even cannot change the people's heart or minds world. Except the national machine-government, the prison is also one. The laws need to control people's behavior and then the use of the prison is to educate these people who has the opposite behavior breaking the social stability. How to control or limit these behaviors? Only using the above circulating progress of legislation? The answer is absolutely not. The government need reform human nature. With the method of education and strict disciplines made by the government in the prison, then the prisoners can seek their mind in their hearts by themselves. And now every country just do in this way to boost the function of the laws.

It might be that some people would like to ask whether the human nature can be changed. I would like to take some examples to illustrate this question. In some people's opinions, they believe that the human nature is like a devil when they come to this world and everything they meet is all bad. In the Holy Bible, the God also believe that the human nature is greed because of the behavior of Adam and Eve stealing the saint apple. But the God also punish them and consider that some day the human will finally reform themselves. Back to now, this world is a world with perfect civilization. What the people want to do is to congregate to fight against the terrorism and diseases which have not been found the method to cure them. The SARS, the Avian flu., the gag between poverty and wealth, etc. is the problems which the human concerns. In short, with the development of the society and then leading to the development of the laws, the legislation could and indeed reform the human nature.

In conclusion, our society should be depended on the laws. By implementing and amending it often we can control or limit the people's behavior. To better support the laws, the legislation should also be paid attention. The reason is that it can reform the human nature and deeply impact what is in people's hearts and minds.

I contend that passing laws to control or limit on people's behavior. However, I disagree with the claim that legislation cannot reform human nature which (as) the author maintains.

As well all know, constructing a law needs a long time to modulate (amend) and examine. When the society find that there are some unusual human behaviors, then the national machine, the government, would use its right to control or limit it by the laws(the goverment would use the laws) to control or limit as soon as possible. When the laws are implemented, there might be some other behaviors which would impact the society. Again, what the government should do is also to amend the laws and(to) control and limit this behavior again. This is essentially a circulation of the law. For that matter, we can say that the duty of the laws is absolutely to search which behavior is bad or corruptive for the society. For example, the American laws are one of the most excellent ones in this world. But after a long time to develop it(developing), there are also (still) many problems involved in this country. The reason is that the people's behavior is changing every (all) the time. And with this change, the government should change (amend) the laws a lot (so as) to better control or (and) prohibit these new behaviors.

But is (it) the only aim of the legislation to reform human nature? In my opinion, I would not have an exact recognization??for this issue. (Yet, at least)感觉重复了, I would not agree that the legislation cannot reform human nature or even cannot change the people's heart or minds world(change people's spirits). Except the national machine-government, the prison is also one. The laws need to control people's behavior and then the use of the prison is to educate these people who has the opposite behavior breaking the social stability. How to control or limit these behaviors? Only using the above circulating progress of legislation? The answer is absolutely not. The government need to reform human nature. With the method of education and strict disciplines made by the government in the prison, (then省略) the prisoners can (seek their mind in their hearts by) reform themselves. And now every (most) of the countries are just doing in this way to (boost the function of the laws)change things in people’s hearts and minds.

It might be (is possible) that some people would like to ask whether the human nature can be changed. I would like to take some examples to illustrate this question. In some people's opinions, they believe that (the) human nature is (like a devil when they come to this world and everything they meet is all bad) 性本恶？可以用简略的陈述，减少干硬的修辞.In the Holy Bible, the God also believes that the human nature is greed because of the behavior of Adam and Eve stealing the saint apple. (But)However, the God also punish them and consider that some day the human will finally reform themselves. Back to now(the modern society), this world is a world with perfect civilization. (What the people want to do is to congregate to fight against the terrorism and diseases which have not been found the method to cure them. The SARS, the Avian flu., the gage (gulf) between poverty and wealth, etc. is the problems which the human concerns. In short, with the development of the society and then leading to the development of the laws, the legislation could and indeed reform the human nature.)这一段陈述似乎不太有力,而且你的字树应该足够了，有时可以省略一些生硬的描述性语言。

In conclusion, our society should be depended  (based) on the laws. By implementing and amending it often (occasionally) we can control or(and) limit the people's behavior. To better support the laws, the legislation should also be paid attention. The reason is(Since)  it can reform the human nature and deeply impact what is in people's hearts and minds.

TOPIC: ISSUE36 - "The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries."
WORDS: 477          TIME: 0:45:00          DATE: 2006-7-4

The evaluation of the greatness of individuals' is discussed from generation to generation. Who can decide their contribution to the society remains a question, but I think, most of the great figures are appreciated justly after they died for many years.

(Of course)Undoubtedly, the great individuals contribute a lot to society and speed up the development of the human world. Most of their inventions were applied in life and produced numerous profits, most of their theories solved the society's problem or the scientific puzzles, as a result, many giants were respected during their period and their achievement was recognized. For example, Newton, one of the most famous physicists in the world, discovered the three basic principles of mechanics. He was admired for his achievement and hold the most important status in academic field at that time.

However, not all the giants are the same fortunate as Newton. Actually, the majority of them lead a poor life in their period and there are many reasons responsible for this.

Firstly, before our modern, democratic society now, the government was not so (open-minded) enlightened (that) and the leaders might (eliminate) persecute the people holding the different ideas with them in order to protect (their) the (policy) regime. For example, Copernicus, the great astronomer who believed that earth is not the center of the universe but the sun. At that time, country was controlled by the Catholicism and the king exaggerated the theory which assumed that earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus ' theory shook the foundation of the government. The leader was afraid of been laughed and even tried to arrest him. As a result, the correct theory had no place to stand and Copernicus was recognized as a great scientist hundreds of years after his death.

The second reason I think that those genius can be decided only by those who live after them is that they are so clever, provident and innovative that their excellent (thought) ideology could not be comprehended by civilians contemporary. Take painting for instance, the audience need to have (enough (specified) a lot professional knowledge and accurate (thought) insight which is similar to the author. Therefore, the best artists' painting styles were usually too avard-garde to be accepted by the common people or even other ordinary artists so they were not recognized and even did not have the money to support themselves. These artists were forgotten by that period but decades later, their paintings were invaluable.

All in all, although some of the great individuals won the respect and the status they deserved at their period, most of them can only be decided by those who live after them because of the depraved government or their unacknowledged theory. Thus, we need to provide a more open environment for them and pay more attention to the people with talent in order to give the genius a better space to develop.
  


TOPIC: ARGUMENT160 - As people grow older, an enzyme known as PEP increasingly breaks down the neuropeptide chemicals involved in learning and memory. But now, researchers have found compounds that prevent PEP from breaking neuropeptides apart. In tests, these compounds almost completely restored lost memory in rats. The use of these compounds should be extended to students who have poor memory and difficulty in concentrating-and therefore serious problems in school performance. Science finally has a solution for problems neither parents nor teachers could solve.
WORDS: 232          TIME: 0:30:00          DATE: 2006-7-4

In the augument, the author is merely based on the unsubstantiated evidence and a dubious research and arrives at the conclusion that the compounds can solve the problem of poor memory and bad performance in school and suggests to extend the compounds to all students. However, after close scrutiny, the evidence he presents lend little support to his argument and there are some critical flaws in the passage,too.

The threshold flaw of his analysis is that the author fails to establish the relationship between the compounds that prevent PEP from breaking neuropeptides apart with the solving of the problem of poor memory. At the beginning of the passage, PEP is just illustrated to be the enzyme which breaks down the chenmicals involved in learning and memory, we can't say that it cause the problem of poor memory. Maybe it has to effect with other chemicals to impede the memory function.

Secondly, even if PEP really cause the problem of poor memory, the compounds found by scientists only restored lost memory in rats. Would it be helpful to improve the memory function of rats? Even it is so, the compounds has just been experimented on rats, if we want to extend it to human, we need first to make experiments on monkeys, then begin the clinic experiment, this means we have to wait for several years to make it applied. And what's more, several years later, whether the compounds would be useful is still a question,so it is not practical to extend it to stdents right now.

Thirdly, when talking about PEP at the beginning, it says that when people grow older, PEP will increasing breaking the chemicals concerning memory and learning. So what will it do with children or youngsters? And even if the compounds found by scientists could solvet the peoblem of memory, the research does not mention it's effect with the learning problem, so the author's conclusion that it can improve the performance of students at school is groundless.

To sum up, the author's argument lacks support and it is not convincing as it stands. To better bolter the conclusion, we need to make clear that whether the compounds found can solve the problem of memory and whether it will also take effect in human.
